the worst is true: MA teacher raped before being murdered by 14 year old student

273. This isn't a little boy who shot his abusive, child-beating father.

That's a different situation entirely.

This isn't a kid who got mad at his sibling and picked up paw's unsecured weapon in a fit of pique.

This isn't a kid who killed his stepmother who routinely beat and starved him.

This isn't even a kid who has impulse issues, who beats someone to death upon snapping after a perceived slight.

This is someone who PLANNED this cold-blooded rape and murder. He came to school with a backpack full of violent intent.

As far as what's "just," we've got to look at a lot of things. You want to play bleeding heart with a kid who is just broken and will not be fixed, you jump to it and invite him into your home--offer to set him up with an ankle bracelet, and you sleep down the hall from him without a lock on the door.

I think you save the ones who can be saved. This one can't. That kind of brutality and pure hatred, and the ease with which he exercised it, isn't going to be driven out of him with hearts and flowers.

There needs to be some "justice" for the greater community, too. They need to know that they have a right to go to the bathroom in a public building without being punched, raped, throat-slashed murdered, and posed, dead and defiled, out in the woods after some sicko has taken their trophy undergarments as a souvenir of their kill.

And one way to make sure of that is to lock up people who do this kind of shit.
